Lance McNaught, best known as Lance Cade, has passed away at the age of 29. No other details regarding his death are currently known.
Cade was one of Shawn Michaels’ first wrestling students. He ended up being signed to a WWE developmental deal before making it to the main roster in 2003. Cade was released from WWE after an incident on a flight where he took too many painkillers and went into a seizure. WWE ended up bringing him back but eventually released him again.
After being released, Cade claimed that WWE released him because he had asked for help with issues stemming from addictions to sleeping pills. WWE did send him to rehab but ended up releasing him, something Cade thought was unfair. It’s worth noting that sources within WWE denied those claims.
